I want to create a restore disk system on another HDD without having to back up the entire computer?
I have Windows XP Professional, and I do a back up of all the windows files that I need to run windows (I hope) on a second hard drive. I want to create a file recovery from windows on this drive, but when I go in the options backup, I have to pick up the entire computer in order to get this recovery file created. But I don't want to back up all my personal files and programs because that would take in charge the secondary hard drive together. How to create this recovery file without saving the entire hard drive? Thank you.

If you do any type of backup - only circuit, dat, or all - on a second internal bank or a second partition, you are just kidding yourself. It is the lowest form of backup doesn't exist, and is barely better than no backup at all. He let losses likely to be simultaneous to the original and backup for many common dangers: serious power, near the lightning seeds, failures of hard disk (if it's a second partition), virus attacks, even the theft of the laptop.
In my view, secure backup must be on a media removable and not stored in the computer. For backup really secure (necessary, for example, if your company depends on your data), you should have several generations of backup, and at least one of these generations should be stored off-site.

How to download an operating system on a new HDD without having to pay for the nine
Hello
I have an acer aspire 5536, which broke out last week. Blue screen of death and then black screen saying no operating system, impossible to access safe mode. I took it to a store and they tested and said that the hard drive was not working.
So I bought a new hard drive but I don't have a disk recovery or for operating system drives. How can I reinstall windows vista or I have to buy a new operating system such as windows 7?
Thank you
Suzanne

Hello
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
See you soon.

Cursor flashing at the start of the system and hard drive not working do not on the other computer
Original title: I need help with my Hardrive
Recently I had problems with a hard disk of computers. So I'm going to give guys the full story, I fell on this computer, it's actually my mums computer and it had a blue screen at startup error. I'm sorry, but I don't remember that the error was called on the top of my head, basiclly I quikly searched online and alll they say should use fixboot. So I did and the computer booted Windows XP very well. So the next day, when I was starting the machine (just to let you know, it would be the first start since I used fixboot, other than the right after that, I don't know if it would make a difference).
In any case, while trying to start, there was just a slider, or as underscore that retain just flashing in top left corner. I thought that maybe I should reinstall windows on another partition so my files would be safe. I did it, the installation program had no problem with it, but when I booted up I got the same line of flashing underscore / cursor in the upper left corner.
I thought that maybe I should back up the hard drive using my other computer so I tried to plug in the hardrive in my work computer and the hardrive started to heat up and as if it worked but any hardrive was getting into my computer, I refreshed it, started the computer upward once again, nothing.
So my question is what is the problem with this hardrive and how I save? I'm ready to do anything, use the live CD, using another computer. I have precious moments of family on the hardrive.
Thank you guys
Hi Joemost,
As you have important data on the hard drive. We recommend that you contact the vendor of hard drive to diagnose hard drive or visit the nearest tech store to save your data.
There are chances that the boot files are missing on the computer and also you could have not connected the hard drive as a slave when you connected to the other computer. Once you have saved the data, you can repair the existing windows and check if it starts successfully.
Try these steps to repair install Windows XP:
a. start the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in the BIOS OF THE system for the CD starts before the hard drive.
b. on the "Welcome" screen, press ENTER to start the installation of Windows.
c. accept the license agreement and Windows will search for existing installations of Windows.
d. Select the XP installation you want to repair in the list, press R to start the repair.
e. the installation program copies the necessary files to the hard disk and restart. Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue as if it were a clean install, but your applications and settings are preserved.
f. when the installation is complete, check if Windows starts correctly.Visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

How can I restore my computer to an earlier date when the guest continues to show only the same date as the malfunction? I use Windows Vista on a Toshiba Satellite laptop.
Hi bmikelg48,
How many restore points that you have? You see an option to view the restore points more? Are all the restore points after the start of the question? You cannot restore your computer to an earlier date if you do not have a restore point to an earlier date.

Run disk management and tell us what are your disks/partitions.
Make a right click my computer and select manage. Then click on disk management.

And once again, please tell us which of your readers has the OS on it.

I had a problem with my window 7 do not allow me to do live updates. Supprt Tech guided me through the steps necessary when requiring eventually get a difficult access remotely guided. The tech assured me that since I don't have the activation code for my Windows 7 ultimate that it provide me on. That I would be prompted to enter one after recovery and the restoration was complete.
I wonder if I'll be able to get this code now?
Also, I lost all text documents I had written and recorded? We did a flash drive recovery I've used but I am unable to locate my document.
Thanks for any help.
System Restore does not destroy documents, but a recovery will depend on what has been done.
If the remote technician entered the product key, so he could be there.

CyberLink recovery disk utility: can not burn to disc when you try the recovery computer
Hi all
Recently, my hard drive on my HP Pavilion p6674y was wiped out. I have a new hard drive installed in the computer. I created my own recovery DVDs when I bought the computer first. I started with the recovery discs and all was well until about 70% (on the 2 CD at this stage of 3) and then I got an error "0xe0ef000e.
I then did some research and have ordered the discs of recovery from HP and then saw that I must download and burn to disc recovery disks Cyberlink utility so that the discs work. I have serious problems this CD to burn. I followed the instructions and when it is to the burning time of the installation wizard CD does not burn. It says on the wizard I'm full and there is a 'yes' 'no' and the button "Cancel". When I hit Yes the computer I currently use just restarts. I then try the disc (even if I can say that it's always empty) in my Pavilion and the checkmark never comes to the top.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Help, please.
Thank you
Hello:
This utility is not absolutely necessary.
You only need if the HP recovery discs do not work on your new hard drive.
I tried to run the file on Windows 8 and it wrong, then I won't be able to help you with that.
While you wait for your drives HP recovery plant to arrive, you can make your own plain W7 installation media and use that to install W7, so at least you can use your PC.
Here is how to do this. My only review of the instructions is not to activate W7, unless you want to. Just skip entered the product key from the COA Microsoft sticker on your PC case.
You have 30 days to use the program without activating it.
Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below. Download the Windows 7 version that is on your product (Home Premium, professional or ultimate) key to apply. SP1 Refresh of media files are the latest ISO files.
Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive using the USB compilation method.
Use the product key of windows 7 of 25 characters to activate your installation.
http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

Rescue and recovery - how to back up the entire operating system?
Hi all
Maybe I'm looking for something that is not supported, but since I got here, then we are
I'm running Windows 7 Pro (x 64) on the T410.
Rescue and Recovery 4.31
I divided my HARD drive into 2 partitions: C for the OS and D for data.
I have a disk storage network, so, apparently, I did not need to backup the data that is stored on drive D (already to store all my data on the NAS drive)
What I want to do is to set up the R & R to backup all my drive C (the OS only)
How can I go about to do?
Thanks a lot for your comments
You can do this in "Advanced" mode of Rescue and Recovery:
1. open Rescue and Recovery
2. click on the arrow next to "Launch Advanced Rescue and Recovery" in the lower left corner
3. click on 'Set schedule and preferences' on the right side
4. click on your "Include partitions" D: drive on the right, so that d will not be saved.
